TOWING THE LOADER
Procedure
Because of the design of the loader, there is not a

recommended towing procedure.
• The loader can be lifted onto a transport vehicle.
• The loader can be skidded a short distance to move

for service (EXAMPLE: Move onto a transport
vehicle.) without damage to the hydrostatic system.
(The tires/tracks will not turn.) There might be slight
wear to the tires/tracks when the loader is skidded.
The towing chain (or cable) must be rated at 1 & 1/2

times the weight of the loader. (See Performance on
Page SPEC-4.)

The items below are referenced in [Figure PM-3].
1. Check the seat belt webbing. If the system is

equipped with a retractor, pull the webbing
completely out and inspect the full length of the
webbing. Look for cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and
stiffness.
2. Check the buckle and latch for proper function. Make

sure latch plate is not excessively worn, deformed or
buckle is not damaged.
3. Check the retractor web storage device (if equipped)

by extending the seat belt webbing to determine if it
extends and retracts the webbing correctly.
4. Check webbing in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV)

rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the
original color of the webbing in these areas is
extremely faded and / or the webbing is packed with
dirt, the webbing strength may have weakened.
